New Delhi: A CRPF Inspector General (IG), posted in the Northeast, has alleged that an encounter carried by a joint squad of security forces in Assam in March was fake and it killed two persons in cold blood claiming they were NDFB rebels.

Rajnish Rai, a 1992-batch IPS officer of Gujarat cadre, said he has conducted a “discreet” inquiry on his own chronicling how a team of the Assam Police, the Army, the CRPF, its jungle warfare unit CoBRA and the border guarding force Sashastra Seema Bal  conducted the encounter on March 29-30 in  Chirang district and killed what they called were two insurgents of the banned group NDFB (S).
Rai, in his  report, alleged that information about the incident and FIR filed by the joint squad of forces present a “fictitious account” of the operation to “conceal pre-planned murders of two persons in custody and present it as some brave act of professional achievement”. (PTI)
